Recursively list directories in powershell [duplicate]

In PowerShell, dir is an alias for the Get-ChildItem cmdlet.

Use it with the -Recurse parameter to list child items recursively:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse

If you only want directories, and not files, use the -Directory switch:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Directory

The -Directory switch is introduced for the file system provider in version 3.0.

For PowerShell 2.0, filter on the PSIsContainer property:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse |Where-Object {$_.PSIsContainer}

(PowerShell aliases support parameter resolution, so in all examples above, Get-ChildItem can be replaced with dir)
